Are you sure it's the pinion seal and not just leaking from the yoke splines? You're supposed to use a little RTV on the splines during assembly.

Not sure, I will have to check it out. Still going to the show today, car will just be on the trailer for the 60 mile drive.

I drove mine to pick up my son at his friends house yesterday and the dad loved it.

Ray - find some AT-205 and add it to anything that has oil. It is truly miracle in a bottle.

Today... I cleaned, repainted, and installed the radiator. Installed the thermostat and housing. Installed the upper and lower radiator hoses. I think the upper hose is going to need to be trimmed to fit properly. (look at the pictures, you'll see what I mean) Installed the valve cover to air cleaner elbow in the passenger side valve cover. (aftermarket elbow + factory valve cover = a lot of four letter words to get it installed) Installed the shifter handle, but didn't reassemble the rest of the console yet. Installed a new throttle cable too. Then I made a list, and proceeded to spend $200 in about 30 minutes, between three different vendors.

I expected to get more done, but spent a lot of time looking for things and cleaning parts. I took the distributor and parts home with me today, going to try and get that all put together in my spare time.

Anyhow, pictures of how the car sits as of 2pm today...

today I installed Ridetech 2" drop spindles, and custom coil springs in the rear. also clearanced the rear wheel wells for the new tires. my next day off, I'll get the ignition system and fuel regulator buttoned up

cleaned around it to make sure all the tools are back in its place. then bolted in the shifter in place

Going out to Tony's if he is home to get the steering wheel so I can drive it.

LOL no steering wheel?
